ElevationToStorage

This function performs a lookup in a Reservoir object’s Elevation Volume Table based on a given elevation and evaluates to the corresponding storage.

Description

Find the reservoir storage at a given elevation.

Arguments

Meaning

1

OBJECT

reservoir object

2

NUMERIC

pool elevation

Evaluation

The pool elevation argument is looked up in the Pool Elevation column, of the Elevation Volume Table, of the reservoir object argument to determine the Storage . If the exact elevation is not in the table, the lookup performs a linear interpolation between the two nearest bounding elevations and their corresponding storage values.

Mathematical Expression

 

Comments

If the object is not a reservoir, the function aborts the run with an error.

If the reservoir is a Slope Power Reservoir, the calculation is based only on level storage and does not include any wedge storage effects.

This function will issue an error if the method, , is selected. Instead, use the ElevationToStorageAtDate function described next.
